Last night, a new Dramatic trifle, entitled " Lying fade Easy," was produced at this Theatre. The story simple, and owes its sole success to the spirited per reliance of Messes. Bartley and Wrench. Its plot is Irsething to the following effect : Flan:, a servant in the nploy of a Mr. and Mrs. Swallow, is addicted, as his une implies, to what Foote, in his Farce of the Liar, mild call " poetry in his prose." The Master has a Thew" and niece, who are residing in the same house ith him, and being deeply smitten with each other, apply r assistance to F lans. This he good-naturedly pro ises ; and out of his numerous amusing white lies, told their behalf, arises the whole interest of thestory. We Lye been brief in our account of it, because the piece Lelfiii but trifling, and possesses but few claims to origi -14. One seene,.hoWever, between Wrench and Bart- V, deserves particular mention. The house was crowded. • LAW INTELLIGENCE. • COURT OF CHANCERY.—(Tarra Day.) His Lordship was detained in his private room by some ounsel and Solicitors so long, this morning, that he did get into Court till half-past 11 o'clock. 'COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. coifsi r. HARRIS. His Lordship considered that the following order might ' made in this cause : That it being established to the tillfaction of the Court that prior to the pronouncing of .e Decree in Const v. Harris, the Master had proceeded ee itaideieble extent in passing the Receiver's accounts, Icier the order of the Bth of December, 1825, and that tween • the time of pronouncing the -Decree and ch Decree haying been drawn up, the Master had ether proceeded upon ,such accounts, and nearly the conclusion of those accounts, upon which he had . oceeded, let •the Master further proceed to conclude e taking of those accounts which had been in progress rave him, and sign his report thereof. Then, let the eceivers' accounts, subsequent to those upon which the ilister• had procee ded nearly to the conclusion ' and if 'ere be any other further account to be taken, let them proceeded 'upon by the Master named in the decree. here was another difficulty which ought to be cured; 'e Court had ascertained, that after the Master's report as signed, now and then a warrant was taken out to re iew that report. Mr. Heald said, it was quite certain in this identical Lie, and perfectly understood among all parties, that what pasted before the Master, would have to be reviewed y the Court itself. His Lordship observed that that was quite a different l'ing• It was not very congruous that one Master should !view the report of another Master ; and, therefore, Mas- Dowdeswell might review Master Cross's report in his case, and then the whole could be brought before the :!ourt, if the .parties pleased. But it seemed to the Court 3 be absolut e ly and imperatively due to suitors, that what ad been d one .under an interlocutory order should not ave to be wholly, or even partly, gone over again, before nother 'Master when a decree in - the cause wa s pro ounced; therefore the Cou r t wou ld either h ave to direct he Master, who had the proceedin gs b e f ore him , under an uerlocutory order to finish his rep ort , or the proceedings u eeedio r gs a . be carried ove r to anot h er M aster, to be take where, and in the state i n w hi c h t h ey had beepnpe. left m o oy th e M as t er w h o h a d had t h em. There was precedent 1 1 1 to authorise this arrangem en t, w hi c h t he Court mould certainly adopt. Th ere was anot h er question, which vas, what was to be done with respect to the Receiver's L ecoLints as th e y now stand, upon what has p asse d b e f ore he Master ? This point his Lordship will dispose of to norrow ; and in the meantime, as he was d ete important e t this point of practi ce at rest by aprnneeei 'lied to hit dent in mule, le des ir ed again to see Master Cross before he une into Court to-morrow. SITTINGS. In the course of yesterday two different Counsel ad tressed the Lord Chancellor for leave to give notice of notions for, injunctions. They were sorry to have had to rouble his Lordship, but the Vice-Ohancello r had refused hem, saying he should not be able to get through his tankrupt petitioos, and, therefore, he should not be inter opted by any motion. His Lordship was quite astonished to heir such state neat,. He should give leave to give the notices, and lesired the krentlemen to saj to the. Vice-Chancellor, that le desired him to hear them. • He used the word desired, )eesuse he thought that-the most resPectful. If gentle- nen were to look at the Act of Parliament, appointing he Vice-Chancellor, they would find that it was quite in xnpetent for him to .say, he should not hear any thing :he Chancellor pleased to order him to hear. According 4 the present practice, however, he seemed to direct the Chancellor instead of the Chancellor directing him, because his Lordship apprehended that ao ,branch of this Court oa right to refus e to hear M o tio ns for injunc- Li ons at any time s uitors chose to apply for them, t ither in or out of the vacation; and he wou l d take the liberty o f . saying, that he should not suffer , any bra nc h o f t r lut Court, to regulate his hearings either directly or directly. For the Vice-Chancellor to say, he should not hear an in. 'unction m ot i on t i l l after he had heard the bankrupt p et i t i ons, what was that but saying that the Chancellor should hear it before Ile heard hi s , b ankrupt petitions ? And he should wish very much t* know Weer., the reasonableness of that was. His Loitositte would add if notice of motions continued to come " 1 thickly 'Maley had,done lately, he would have to sit in the a r k jag at well'u'in the morning. "I/. HAAT did not lam when it would be Over with his Lord- ship, but he kneruvery well that it would soon be all over with his Counsel, ifhe sat much longer. His Lomas'''. did not think that killing his Counsel would be any great sin, and therefore he could not give them much hope of a speedy cessation. IN THE MATTER OF HINDI, A LUNATIC. His Loansitzr said he had read the petition presented in the matter against Master Stratford, praying that the Court would order him to make his report immediately upon the proceedings in this matter before him, and that he should not leave town until be bad made it ; he had also seen the Master himself, whose conduct was referred to, and be thought the petition was a petition upon which he ought to make no order. If the petition had stated that the parties were disputing about whether the 7000/. was not a most extravagant sum to be laid out on expenditures, and that some of the parties had applied to the Master to have such a sum laid out as the Master might have thought reasonable under the circumstances before him, and under the circumstances the Master had stated to him (the Chancellor), he should have known what to have done with such an application ; but upon the pre• sent petition, directed against the Master's conduct, he could only diming it. kr. TINNY hoped the Court would dismiss it with costs. His Loansuir was of opinion that he ought to give costs. Mr. thaw), who appeared for the petitioner, begged that it might be understood that the Court gave costs, not because there was any merit in Mr. Tinny's client, but because the petition re flected on the Master. His Loansnir said, it was not because the petition reflected on the Muter, but because it reflected on him without any just ground. He could assure Mr. Heald, he should have thought it his sacred duty, if, upon seeing'the matter, he had thought there was just ground for the application, to have so-expressed himself; but his opinion was, that there was no ground, and, indeed, that there could hardly be any ground for such an application. Whatever gentlemen might think, he hoped he was very far from letting the practisers of this Court break down the judicial authorities of this country, unless there was a fair ground for it. Mr. HEALD thought there never could be a fair ground for it. • His Loans'' 1r was not at all of the same opinion ; be thought there might be a case in which there was a very fair ground for it, but the present was not that case. The truth seemed to be, that when a reference was made to the Mister,''on wbich he was to exercise his judgment, the gentlemen Who obtained the reference thought' that the Master ought to adopt their judgment. He will give suchin order to the secretary about the costs, 'as he hoped no one should have any right to quarrel with, but that some one would quarrel with it, he did not doubt. IN TUN MATTER or SCOT% A lANKMI?T. Air. MosITAc u moved, on behalf of the assignees in this matter, Oat a petition might stand peremptorily for Saturday next. The petition was for an order upon a very respectable Solicitor, calling upon him to pay into Court a sum of 1500/., which he had got into his hands, belonging to the bankrupt's estate. His LORDSHIP, after some hesitAtion, made the order. • METCALF F. MOUSON. Mr. Royer!. stated, that in this case a lady of the name of Metcalf, and a gentleman of the name of Escott, were severally possessed of certain estates, of which they made, before they inter married, satifactory settlements. It was also agreed that 2,0001. should be advanced to the lady for outfits, which, however, had not been paid, and the present application was, praying that the Court would answer a petition for an early day, the object of which was to obtain an order directing the trustees to pay 2,0001. to the husband. His LORDSHIP said, he would answer it for the cause petition day, but not before. He hoped that day was not far distant, though he did not know how far. DELAY. PAYNI C: BURRIDGT. Mr. SIIADWILLL moved that proceedings in this ease might be stayed until an appeal could be heard against what had taken place in this case. Mr. HiALD opposed the application. Of all the bold and bare faced applications he ever heard of, this bore away the bell. —This was a case in which the delay that had occurred had been enormous ; he had intended stating it before the Chancery Com missioner, but he afterwards thought it would overload the report too much; and therefore he abandoned his first intention. An estate was sold by the Reverend Mr. Berridge, in the country, to an attorney of the name of Symon Payne ; the contract was entered into in 1798, and the bill was filed twenty-one years ago. The contract was drawn by the Attorney himself, and he agreed thereby to pay 4,160/. for the estate, upon entering into the contract, and haring possession de livered to him. At that time he paid one pound on account of the purchase-money, and from that time till this, not a farthing more had ever bran got from him. The honest Clergy man, being a quiet and well-disposed man (as Mr. Heald quaintly stated), and having been sickened with this suit, he had a great desire never to be a party to another Chancery Suit; but was most anxious to get out of this one, that he might die in peace. He had found.that he had as little chance with lawyer Spawn Payne. as he would have with a tiger, if he had met it in a forest. The Learned Gentleman went through the different proceed ings in the cause, and then hoped the present motion would be dismissed with costs. Mr. SHLDWZLL said Mr. Payne was quite unable to pay the money. He had been in Salisbury jail for a great many years. He had conveyed this very estate away for the benefit of his credi tors in general; the trustees had entered into a contract to sell it again, and there was another cause pending in this Court re specting the very title of this estate. The Vice-Chancellor had decreed that he should pay the purchase money, together with the costs. The Master had reported the amount due, but Mr. Payne was most anxious to appeal against the report, and therefore he hoped the Court would stay all proceedings till the appeal could be heard. His LORDAIIIP never knew a case in which a man was less in titled to indulgence than Mr. Payne was iu the present case, and would not stay the proceedings one hour longer than giving him the opportunity of remitting the account of the purchase-mo ne y, t oge th er w ith th e 2001. f or costs, i nto t h e hands of the Accountant-General ; and `unless that was done be fore the office closed, the Court should dismiss this motion, with costs. VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT—(Tuis DAT.) • Notting of p u bli c i nterest occurre d i n this curt this morning. The VICE-CUANCILGLOR stated, that it was not probable that he would adjourn on the 12th inst. as he had hinted a few days ago. He would continue to sit until all the bankrupt petitions were dis.. posed of. Where the affidavits were long he would devote his evenings in reading them, in order that he might not occupy the tiLIS of the Court with what could be done elsewhere. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.._(Tits DAY.) There were about forty insolvents discharged in this Court this morn i ng ; of these, sir were opposed, but under circumstances that involved no public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-lIOUSR.—(Tatis DAY.) N ar y Sullivan Wu charged by her muter, Mr. Robinson, with having stolen several articles bel ong i ng to hi m an d ot h er per sons in the house. Mr. Robinson stated, that having missed several things at dif ferent times since the prisoner entered his service, he caused some searc h to b e blade, and found that there was good reason for believing that she had made free with what was not her own. He determined to get rid of her as soon u possible, an d sen t f or an officer, to make all right between him and the prisoner. Th e officer proceeded to search, and handkerchiefs and other articles were found in a place which she had first left.—She told her master upon being detected, that now that he had found all that belonged to him, he ought to be satisfied. " If," sa id s h e , 4, you will forgive me, I'll be very much obliged to you."—He, however, thought the least he could do was to interfere to prevent other fa milies from being robbed. rho I..4cnan MA.von. remanded the prisoner.

Daniel Hefting _____ was brought b e f ore the Sitting Magistrate by Lloyd, c h arge d w ith ste a li ng a silk handkerchief.A young m an named Bodfi e ld, stated, that on Tuesday night, about n i ne o ' c l oc k, w hil e ta lki ng to 4 person i n Li quor pond. street, the p r i s o ner , who app eare d to b e playing with another lad, ran against him as if accidentally,and 1.- at the same moment lie felt a pull at his pocket, to which be immediately applied his hand, and missed his silk pocket handkerchief. On turning sharply round, he saw the prisoner in the act of transferring it to his com panion, who immediately ran away with it towards Leather-lane, pursued by witness. He, however, soon lost eight of him, and on returning to Liquorpond-street, found that the prisoner had also effected his escape. The Magistrate asked if the person who bought the handker chief was present, and on being answered in the negative, said, that as the attendance of that person was necessary, he should remand the prisoner until Friday, and, perhaps, by that time, his compa nion might be found. Lloyd said he was well known, and should be looked after. MARLBOROUGH- S MEET-4 Tills Div.) Francis White a respectable looking young man was brought to this office on the following charges. Mr. Stiles, a salesman, 28, Oxford-street, deposed that some time since he gave five shillings fur two duplicates of the prisoner, each for a pair of pistols. He redeemed and exposed them for sale. A few days after this Henry Roberta asked the price of them, and said he would call again; he did call &pulp and identified them as having been stolen from the shop of Mr. Egg, of No. 1, Pall-Mall, and in April last my uncle desired the to stop the perso n who sold them, if I saw him again. The prisoner eame to me yesterday, and desired to have them back, but I detained him. Mr. Egg attended, and swore to the pistols; he knew them as well as his own hand ; he had carried them all through Switzer land. The price, new, was eight guineas the pair. Henry Roberts, the clerk, said, they were lost in April last ; lie missed them, but did not sus p ect any person at th e tune. Mr. DYIR asked the prisoner how he became possessed of the tickets? He replied that he bought them off a Jew; they were pledged at 1/. eaeh pair, and he gave 7s. for the tickets. Mr. Dun remarked, that he must produce the Jew before he could clear himself. Cook, the constable, here stated that there were several other charges against the prisoner ; 31 duplicates were in his possession when he was taken, and some of the property pledged had been taken from a box which was broken open in the house where the prisoner lodged. Wm. Berry, a lodger in the same house with the prisoner, No. 2, Harris-place, Oxford-street, deposed, that one of the duplicates was for a silver watch which he had lost six weeks ago ; Lis box was broken open, and it was taken out. The watch was here produced and sworn to. The landlord of the house said, that another of the tickets was for a black waistcoat, which had been stolen from him. He never suspected the prisoner, but told him of it, and he (the prisoner) said, "I'm d—d if ever I saw such a house as this—there is al ways something lost or stolen.—l shall leave it." Ho showed me a check, which he told me he expected to get cashed-in a few days, when he said he would pay me the rent which he owed. • The check was here produced, it was drawn on Smith, Payne, and Smith, for seven pounds, and signed, G. Smith Egg : it was dated the 28th of July, but no year. Air. Alders, pawnbroker, Berwick-street, said the watch had been pledged at his shop, on the 18th of July, in the name of John Jones ; but he did not know who took it in ; the ticket was in the writing of his son, who was young in the business. He could not swear that he did or did not take it in himself. "Mr. I)yza.--You see how requisite it is to be punctual in busi ness. The justice of the country may be defeated over and over again by such negligence. Mr. Alders said he, would send for his shopman, who might perhaps recollect the prisoner. The shopman accordingly came ; he had seen the prisoner, who pledged a shirt at their shop, but did not recollect the watch being pledged. Mr. Gunn, a publican in Marlborough-street, stated that he knew the prisoner very well; he was out riding with witness some months since ; he pulled something out of his pocket, and asked witness if he would have a pinch of snuff; he replied yes, and the prisoner put into his hand two pocket pistols, very like those produced, which he said were loaded. Witness desired him to put them in his pocket, which he then did. He was half drunk, and witness took the reins, and would not let him drive home. He was not alarmed at the pistols, or he would have given him in charge. The depositions were being entered when our reporter left the office, and the Magistrate was undecided whether he should com mit the prisoner or remand him for some other charges. THE LATE MURDER. DOVER, Atic. I.—The Coroner's Inquest on Morgan, the Quarter-master, who was unfortunately killed here on Sunday morning, in the affray with the smugglers, was held yesterday, and after a close investigation of the affair, the Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder agsinst some person or persons unknown. The Honourable Commissioners of his 31ajeety's Customs have directed a reward of Five Hundred Pounds to be offered for the apprehen sion of the Murderers, and are taking octirranossursi for their discovery. The Dover Migistrates are alen tuning teinselvt• to bring the offenders to justice. INQUESTS. (Front the Muidstana Journal.) Yesterday an Inquest was held at the County Gaol, on the body of Samuel Luttal, a soldier belonging to the 6th Dragoon Guards, and who had been committed for desert ing from that regiment. The Coroner, G. Dudlow, Esq. arrived at about three o'clock, and soon after the Jury were sworn in. Mr. John Taunton, is assistant to Mr. Whatman, the surgeon to the gaol. Saw the deceased in his ward on Saturday about noon, who was then in a state of locked jaW. He immediately ordered him to be removed to the hospital, and attende d him there in a few minutes. Wit ness bled. him, and administered medicines. During the operation of bleeding, witness perceived that one of the deceased's fingers was injured, and on examining the right hand, found that the third finger had received a severe wound. Deceased said he had received it from a block in Chatham Dock-yard. It was evident that the finger had been cut, and the incision extended to the bone in a transverse direction, separating the tendons, and by some means the joint was displaced. Witness told the deceased that this wound was the cause of the locked-jaw. Saw him again in the evening about 8 o'clock, when he was evidently worse. Deceased asked witness if he were out of danger, who told him he was not. Mr. T. told the per sons in attendance that he would di; but did not tell the deceased so. Saw him again in the morning, when he was still worse, and he died in one hour and a half afterwards. Death was occasioned by the locked-jaw produced by the wound in the hand. The locked-jaw is a swelling of the jaw, which impedes the action of the organs of respiration, and produces suffocation. Thomas Walker is a prisoner in the Gaol, and was ap pointed to take charge of'the deceased when he came into the hospital. About one o'clock on Sunday morning he became much worse, and was evidently alarmed. Witness did not tell him he was in danger, but endeavoured to keep up his spirits. He told witness that he would tell him all about it. He then said that a man in his ward, belonging to the 69th, had cut his finger with a razor on Monday, that he had cut another man belonging to the 39th before, and procured his discharge, and that he had let him cut his finger. At that time he was in very bad spirits. About four hours after he asked for the Minister to come and pray with him. He died about ten o'clock, and was sen sible till within a minute and a half of his death. He went off as if he were strangled. The Jury retired for a short time, and on their return presented the following verdict—" We are of opinion that the death of the deceased was occasioned by locked-jaw, in cupsequence of a cut in his finger, inflicted by Peter Melly, not with a malicious intent, but only with a view to procure the deceased's discharge from the 6th Regi ment of Dragoon Guards, and with his own consent." TRALER, JULY 25.—An Inquest Wu held on the body of John Gloster, one of the men who was wounded by the firing of the military on the people in Tralee, on the 25th of June. Th e J ur retired for about three hours, y and returned w i t h the following verdict : "We find that John Gloster, who it appears was one of the rioters on the 25th of June last, house that ilse day, window in in Trulee, died of a gun-shot wound received h when he was standing alone near the Court the said town , from one of the police or rifle brigad e , acting under the directi ons o f a magistrate."

He has been known to lift 2,4001 b. (French weight), to leap over seven men in a row. It is said that the numerous efforts which he made in the course of his exercises have abridged his days.—Paris Paper. A young lawyer, fond of technical phrases, happened to lose a pencil case in a house where he was stopping, which was picked up by his hostess a few days after.— " Who has lost a pencil-case?" asked the 'lady. " 1 dare say it's mine, said the lawyer, " I hope you'll take care of it, for I have a lien upon it." The lady upon this began to examine it. " Well," said she, " if you say so I'll not doubt your word—but I can find no Lion any where about it, and so I'll keep it." About eleven o'clock on Monday a young woman, dressed in a red gown and darn-coloured shawl, ap parently about twenty years of age, threw herself from the under parapet of Blackfriar's-bridge into the river. Loud and repeated cries were immediately raised by several individuals who had witnessed the event, for the purpose of attracting the notice of some of the watermen. One of them soon approached the spot where the unfortunate woman had fallen into the river, and asked what was the matter, The answer was " n young woman has just leaped over the bridge." 46 Aye," said he, " there are too many of them," and immediately rowed apparently towards the other side. himselfs repaired and, a r a t g 8 intott th e The tide was running up with great 'rapidity. A 1 number of boats soon collected about the spot, and waited for some time, but they were of no use. The young woman were by that time over, and the tide had most probably carried the body a long . way up the river. A noted character being challenged some time since, by a man who gasconaded a great deal to bring accepted the "call of honour," quest of his opponent, they without seconds. When there, the fiery gentleman suddenly changed his manlier, and, in a most conciliating tone, stated his reasons for meeting unattended, to be simply, that they might give each other a slight wound in a friendly way, and c ome off with glory. He was answered with an actoiesting smile, and with a—" With all my heart, where shall I. wound you ?" " Ohl any wherpe,traltohenrtetuflneeal;eleimyßypoastaibrtavodf the leg, or arm."

The sentence of the law was carried into effect upon Charles (Wilton, tried and convicted of sheep-stealing, by the name of Butcher, at the last June Sessions. Previous to, and a short time after, the arrival of the death -warrant, the prisoner impugned the verdict of the jury, by a decla ration of his innocence ; but,. as the hour of death ap proached, he manifested a more proper feeling, and in the end refrained from exculpating himself. This morning he was attended by the Ordinary and Mr. Baker ; also by Mr. Isitt, a butcher, residing at Bedford, in whose service the prisoner lived three years, and maintained an ex cellent character. After the prisoner had engaged in prayer and religious conversation, he partook of the Sacrament, the nature of which, from a religious education, he ap peared to be acquainted with. He arose early this morn ing, and wrote several letters and an inscription in a Prayer book, given him by Mr. Sheriff Kelly; which book he presented to his late master. A little before the arrival of the Sheriff he accosted Foreham, who is ordered for exe cution next Monday, and exhorted him to prepare for that fate which he (Collison) was about to undergo. The pri soner gave several directions, relative to his friends, and, as the hour of death approached, his mind appeared to he more tranquil and resigned. At eight o'clock the officers arrived, and pinioned his arms, during which time the prisoner was engaged in fer vent prayer, in which exercise he continued until his voice was lost in death, by the hand of the executioner. The prisoner's mother keeps a respectable inn at or near Stony Stratford, to whom he was indebted for religious education and instruction. The 36th Regiment of Foot, lately quartered in this town, marched on Monday last from Stockport to Manchester. The 53d Foot are also ordered to Man chester, and a detachment of that regiment passed through this town yesterday.—Maceleffield Herald. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BRIGHTON RACES.—Mownay, Jutr 31.
